That's something I had to use for a old HP node (donated for CentOS
Project) when I wanted to remotely reinstall it with CentOS 7 : using
the "hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1" kernel parameter to be able to find the
controller.
FWIW, here it is :

02:08.0 RAID bus controller: Hewlett-Packard Company Smart Array E200i
(SAS Controller)
02:08.0 0104: 103c:3238
